Everything about Happy Bungalow was amazing. Well-stocked, comfortable beds, great gathering spaces, convenient area. We would definitely stay here again.
This home was BEAUTIFUL! It has truly put us in awe how Christie was able modernize this bungalow while still keeping it's original antique-ness. We felt right at home. There were all the amenities you could need (and want). The host put so much effort in the maintenance of this home. There were many small things such as stocked up spices, condiments, and a snack bar in the kitchen—all the way to a game room where our family made core memories that just made our stay perfect. Wish we could rate this home higher than the rating limit. We will definitely be returning.
We enjoyed a lovely weekend at the home. The backyard games were fun and we enjoyed cooking and eating in the well appointed kitchen. The bedrooms were spacious and very comfortable.
Stayed here because close to my daughter and granddaughters. House was perfect. My four year old granddaughter loved the basement and toys provided. We had room to spread out and enjoy our visit. Will definitely stay again
The owner adds touches you would not expect in a vacation rental. Noise machines and fans in every bedroom. Heated floors in the upstairs bathroom. Labels everywhere so you would know where things are. A folder with menus and local places to enjoy. Small boxes everywhere with toys for your young ones. (Mine are 30 and 28 so we didn’t use those lol) Bikes at your disposal if you would like to enjoy a ride. It felt so much like we were visiting a families home that we regretted not having more time to enjoy the actual house.
This is a great property to stay at! Everything was clean, amply stocked, and quite spacious. We would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend the property!
Everything was perfect. Host was very responsive. House was in a fantastic location for us. Very clean and very cute decor. This host thought of everything.
Amazing property! So much attention to detail to make sure guests have a wonderful experience especially little things like ample charging stations for phones just as an example. Highly recommend!
Absolutely perfect little house for our 4 person family! Nice quiet neighborhood, easy to find & easy to get to other destinations. Extremely clean, every little need was thought of by the host
You are not going to find a better host then Christie. Her responsiveness and attention to detail are superior. The only thing anyone has to do prior to arrival is to stop and get your perishable food items. We cooked numerous meals and there wasn't a pan or pot we needed that wasn't available. It is a fully stocked kitchen even with a very nice spice cabinet. The Bungalow is a super clean eclectic property. When it needs to be modern it definitely is as exemplified by the upstairs master suite. The first floor shows off it's architectural history with arches, hardwood floors and classic door knobs that provide a familiar feel of comfort and warmth. The location is perfect with easy access to Auburn Hills and the surrounding area. On several days of our stay there were high winds in the area with frigid temperatures and the Bungalow remained warm and cozy. WIFI was fast and reliable and there are numerous TVs throughout the Bungalow. Washer and dryer are handy and the basement area is perfect for children to hang out. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We would not hesitate to stay there again or other properties that Christie hosts.
